Today was my co-worker, PJ’s last day (another, VA is leaving next week). And as promised we had a few tricks up our sleeves. First off we decided to fill BOTH cubes with balloons. I have never blown up so many balloons in my life. As a cover we told PJ that they were all for VA’s cube. By the end of the day we could tell PJ was getting a little annoyed we were making such a fuss over VA. Little did he know. :) This is what their cubes look liked when I left the office yesterday.
What it looked like walking in the door.
It really was pretty amazing. Little did PJ know the balloons were just the start of the tricks. We managed to put confetti everywhere and candy on the desk. I also made a cake last night. I googled good-bye in Chinese and put the symbols on the cake.
Everyone loved the cake. It was quite tasty if I don’t say so myself. (Poor M, I left his piece sitting on my desk when I left this afternoon. 🙁 )
The last surprise we had for PJ happened at lunch. We went to get sushi at great little spot down the street from our office. We frequent here often so our waitress was pretty surprised as all the girls walked in with PJ’s face on our shirts. We told her he was moving to China and this was our homage. We were all seated when the guys walked in. As soon as PJ was in the door we turned so he could see our shirts. It was pretty impressive.
After lunch the office was pretty out of control. I’m pretty sure I am the only one that actually worked, at least until PJ left.
The next few weeks will be crazy since I’m not sure when my new co-worker will be able to move over. I will do what I can and I hope that I won’t kill too many grapes until then. 😉
***Side note — Save the Dates are in and they look great! I am pretty pleased. If I weren’t so exhausted I would be stuffing them in envelopes tonight but, yeah that’s not gonna happen.
